PLAY ON.
In the face of adversity, there’s a warrior spirit within us all. One that calls us to dig deep, rise up, and keep pushing further. How we choose to respond is what separates the good from the legendary.
For some, baseball is merely a sport.
for us, it’s life.
Our purpose, personalities, and pride are forged by our decisions on and off the field. Sportsmanship isn't
just a momentary act; it's the code of honor we live by.
We are what’s known in Japan as 'The Yakyū Shōnen,' obsessed not just with playing the game, but with our
own potential and the progress we make in pursuit of it. Every practice, inning, and play is an opportunity
to show
the world how far we’ve come, and how much further we’ll go.
As baseball enters a new era of accessible technology and data – one that gives us the power to see and
shape how we play – the possibilities are limitless, and so are we.
We’re witnessing someone who might reframe the possibilities, for generations to come,
for what any one individual player could do in the game.
What can’t he do? Nothing, thats what.
OHTANI REDEFINED WHAT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE.
It feels like every day WE come into the press room and someone says,
'Sho set this record today. Nobody's ever done this, or that.
IT’S ‘SHO TIME.
We sat down with Ohtani to talk about his journey, the role Rapsodo has played throughout it, and hear his perspective on what the future of game looks like for aspiring and emerging players.
I WISH THESE TOOLS WERE AVAILABLE TO ME EARLIER. I THINK PLAYERS SHOULD USE THESE TOOLS FOR GROWTH, AND THE EARLIER THEY START USING THEM, THE FASTER THEIR GROWTH WILL BE.
– Shohei Ohtani
Despite being an incredibly gifted player, Ohtani uses advanced data and technology to refine his skills, validate his intuition, and further adjust both his hitting and pitching form. In the midst of elbow surgery rehabilitation, he relies on the PRO 3.0 to assist in recovery, consistently track performance, and ensure a confident return to the field.
As for pitching, I USE THE PR0 3.0 TO check if my pitching data matches the intention that I am throwing it with. Being able to check the data helps smooth out my rehab process.
– Shohei Ohtani
Shohei's career embodies the 'Yakyū Shōnen' spirit of discipline, determination, and resilience.
He
dares to defy tradition, proving that you’re never too young to follow your dreams and play the
game
on your own terms. He shows the world the power that data and technology has on the game, and
with
it anyone can be a record-breaking, two-way force at any level.
Even in the face of injury (or multiple), the only thing holding you back from greatness is your
mindset.
Two-way play is within reach.
Train like Shohei and unlock your true potential.
